I'm a Hoosier transplant....orginally a Buckeye. I live in NE IN and had my surgery at St. Vincent's in Indy/Carmel. Where are you from? Where are you having your surgery done?

Howdy, fellow Hoosiers. I'm just getting started. I have my first consultation 3:30pm on Monday, 6/19. I'm from central Indiana (south of Indy). Good luck to you all.

How was your appt with the doctor? Who did you see? I'm still looking for a closer fill doctor. I'm in Brown County often (my parents live there) and your area would be better than downtown Chicago!

There is a doc in Bloomington, but I don't know how good he is with fills. He has a great bedside manner, though. I was only able to go to the first half of my appointment. The doc was stuck in surgery and I had to be somewhere, then a close friend died, so another wait. I have the rest of my initial appointment today (monday) at 12noon. I'll let you know how it goes.

p.s. hope everything goes well for you today!! Happy B-day!!

:clap2: :becky: :banana ;) thanks!!!!! i know, i cant believe it. it seems like the questions from other people never end. now i am getting hit with questions like..what are you gonna do with all that skin? JEEZ.. can i at least loose the weight first? lol. i dont know when to schedule my surgery. im going on a cruise in sept, and they said that it would be really too tough on me to do that before a cruise. so ill have to wait until oct. i smoked my last cig today just to try to be healthier etc. my life is gonna be changing all over again. but i am excited. a little nervous too. im worried about losing hair. little things that i am trying not to focus on now. but thanks for your support!!!! im so happy i found this site!!!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
